Traffic is counted in both directions on both plans. Once the included traffic is exhausted, an 8Mbps unlimited-traffic configuration is provided.
What Is the AMD EPYC 9004 Platform?
DMIT’s Los Angeles AN4 series uses the AMD EPYC 9004 Series processor platform.
AMD EPYC 9004 is a next-generation Zen 4 server processor platform. Compared with the commonly used EPYC 7003 (Milan / Zen 3) platform, it introduces upgrades in processor architecture, memory, I/O, and other areas.
For VPS users, it can be simply understood as follows:
Compared with the previous-generation EPYC 7003 (Zen 3), EPYC 9004 (Zen 4) provides stronger single-core and multi-core performance while also moving to DDR5 memory and the PCIe 5.0 platform. This can provide an updated overall platform for use cases such as website hosting, Docker, databases, and virtualization.
Of course, actual VPS performance does not depend solely on the CPU model. Factors such as vCPU allocation, host-node load, storage performance, and virtualization strategy also play a role. Therefore, a specific VPS benchmark score or real-world performance cannot be inferred from the CPU model alone.
Why Does the EPYC 9004 Platform Cost More?
From a server hardware perspective, EPYC 9004 is not simply a matter of replacing one CPU. It represents a new-generation server platform.
Compared with EPYC 7003, the 9004 platform involves a new processor architecture, DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0, and other hardware specifications. This also corresponds to higher costs for server motherboards, memory, and overall platform deployment.
As a result, servers equipped with EPYC 9004 generally involve a higher investment in new-generation hardware.
This is also one of the notable aspects of the AN4 restock: compared with some VPS products that previously used EPYC 7003, AN4 uses a newer-generation server platform.
However, higher hardware costs do not mean that actual VPS performance will necessarily increase by the same proportion. For end users, the actual CPU allocation, disk performance, host-node load, and network conditions still need to be considered.
LAX.AN4.Pro.MINI
LAX.AN4.Pro.MINI is the lower-priced plan in this restock, priced at $72.90/month.
Configuration:
- 4 vCPU
- 4GB RAM
- 80GB SSD
- 5000GB bidirectional traffic
- 10Gbps network port
- 1 IPv4
- 1 IPv6 /64
- Premium Routing
- Standard DDoS Protection
- Purchase Link
After the included traffic is exhausted, the plan provides 8Mbps unlimited traffic.
For users who need a relatively large monthly traffic allowance while also wanting Premium network routing, this plan may be worth considering.
LAX.AN4.Pro.MICRO
LAX.AN4.Pro.MICRO is priced at $102.90/month.
Compared with the MINI, the MICRO keeps the same CPU and memory configuration at 4 vCPU + 4GB RAM. The main upgrades are storage capacity and monthly traffic:
- 4 vCPU
- 4GB RAM
- 160GB SSD
- 7000GB bidirectional traffic
- 10Gbps network port
- 1 IPv4
- 1 IPv6 /64
- Premium Routing
- Standard DDoS Protection
- Purchase Link
Once the included traffic is exhausted, it also provides 8Mbps unlimited traffic.
If you need more storage or monthly traffic, the main advantages of the MICRO over the MINI are in these two areas.
What Network Does the DMIT Los Angeles AN4 Use?
The AN4 Pro lineup uses Premium Routing.
The network components listed in the plan information include:
- Tier 1
- Premium Transit
- DMIT Backbone
- China Telecom CN2 GIA
CN2 GIA is a high-quality international network service provided by China Telecom. For users accessing services from mainland China, it is one of the key features commonly associated with this type of product.
It is important to note that a route label does not mean that all regions, carriers, and time periods will deliver identical real-world performance. Actual network performance can still be affected by the local carrier, destination network, and current routing conditions.
Therefore, if the primary purpose of the purchase is access from mainland China, it is recommended to evaluate the service based on actual test results rather than choosing solely based on the route name.
10Gbps Port and High-Traffic Configuration
Both AN4 Pro plans provide a 10Gbps network port.
They also include:
- MINI: 5000GB bidirectional traffic
- MICRO: 7000GB bidirectional traffic
Traffic on both plans is counted as Bidirectional.
This means the plans not only offer a high peak port speed, but also provide relatively generous monthly traffic allowances.
In addition, the plan information shows that an 8Mbps unlimited-traffic configuration remains available after the included traffic has been exhausted. For users who occasionally exceed their allocated traffic, this can prevent the network connection from being completely suspended.
Which Should You Choose: MINI or MICRO?
The two plans have identical CPU and memory configurations. The main differences are SSD storage and traffic allocation.
If your main requirements include:
- Website deployment
- Docker
- Development and testing
- Overseas applications
- General-purpose business servers
LAX.AN4.Pro.MINI already provides 4 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 80GB SSD, and 5000GB of bidirectional traffic at a lower price.
If your business requires more storage space and monthly traffic, you can choose LAX.AN4.Pro.MICRO.
The core configurations of the two plans are compared below:
| Comparison | LAX.AN4.Pro.MINI | LAX.AN4.Pro.MICRO |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 4 vCPU | 4 vCPU |
| RAM | 4GB | 4GB |
| SSD | 80GB | 160GB |
| Monthly Traffic | 5000GB | 7000GB |
| Network Port | 10Gbps | 10Gbps |
| Traffic Direction | Bidirectional | Bidirectional |
| After Traffic Limit | 8Mbps Unlimited Traffic | 8Mbps Unlimited Traffic |
| IPv4 | 1 | 1 |
| IPv6 | 1 /64 | 1 /64 |
| Routing | Premium | Premium |
| DDoS Protection | Standard | Standard |
| Monthly Price | $72.90 Link | $102.90 Link |
What Use Cases Is It Suitable For?
Based on its hardware and network configuration, the DMIT LAX AN4 Pro lineup is better suited to users who have specific requirements for the server platform, network, and traffic allocation.
Website Hosting and Overseas Businesses
4 vCPU + 4GB RAM can be used for common websites, web applications, and overseas business deployments.
If a website has relatively high traffic or needs to transfer large amounts of static content, the 10Gbps port and 5000GB/7000GB of bidirectional traffic are also notable configurations.
Docker and Development Testing
EPYC 9004 is a next-generation Zen 4 server platform and can provide a newer CPU platform for Docker, multi-service deployments, and development and testing environments.
Databases and Application Services
4GB of RAM is not a configuration intended for large database servers, but it can be used for small and medium-sized applications, development environments, and certain database workloads depending on actual resource requirements.
High-Traffic Workloads
If your business requires a large amount of network traffic, the MINI’s 5000GB and the MICRO’s 7000GB of bidirectional traffic may be more suitable than VPS plans with smaller traffic allocations.
In particular, the MICRO increases SSD storage to 160GB and monthly traffic to 7000GB while keeping the same CPU and memory configuration.
Conclusion
The main highlights of DMIT’s Los Angeles AN4 VPS restock are the new-generation AMD EPYC 9004 platform, Premium Routing, CN2 GIA, 10Gbps network ports, and relatively large bidirectional traffic allocations.
On the hardware side, EPYC 9004 (Zen 4) represents a generational platform upgrade over EPYC 7003 (Zen 3), while also introducing next-generation server hardware features such as DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. At the same time, the newer platform also means higher server hardware and deployment costs.
